Whistler's CAN-SKI outerwear boutique celebrates 80 years of Bogner style Jan. 12 with an event celebrating the evolving legacy of the historic fashion and skiwear line.

Bogner representative Maryanne McNamera will join the CAN-SKI staff, shoppers and the public with cake, refreshments, and special discounts and gifts to mark the high-end brand's 80th anniversary and showcase its heritage fashion collection.

In 1932, after a successful career as a cross-country skier and ski jumper — and with 11 German championship titles to his name — Willy Bogner Sr. began importing skis, accessories and knitted goods from Norway. His wife Maria, a designer, moved the line forward with her designs, worn by Olympians and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman and Jayne Mansfield.

In 1977, Willy Bogner Jr., an Olympian skier took over the brand with his model wife Sonia, who took on the role of designer, and expanded the brand to North America.

The brand is now represented in more than 30 countries around the world; Bogner has been the exclusive clothier for the German team in 17 successive Winter Olympic Games.

The festivities begin at 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at CAN-SKI. For more on Bogner go here. For more on all of CAN-SKI's offerings, check out or download its online "lookbook"

The late Bob Hinitt worked for months building his light display, which drew thousands of cars each year to Wiggins Avenue. And Scott Lambie on Clinkskill Drive has continued the tradition with more than 70,000 dancing lights (up from 50,000 last […]

When it comes to gift giving, they say it’s the thought that counts. But many are wondering if Mayor Drew Dilkens was thinking at all when he gave Olympic superstar Michael Phelps — whose battles with booze are well known — a big bottle of Canadian Club whisky.
